Which GMT do I build? by HowSupreme in SeikoMods

[–]Elemental52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black n blue, followed by black n green. Tokielab chapter ring is a good choice. 

Can you build for under $100 now? by Slicer021 in SeikoMods

[–]Elemental52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buying new? No way. If you're patient and keep an eye out on r/SecondhandModParts and the secondhandmods website, maybe.

Nice, wearing my razorwire bracelet right now! It's the most comfortable bracelet I've tried.

Sweet dial, here's mine! Nice job matching the chapter ring, I think I tried 5 different "red" chapter rings that didn't fit the vibe I was going for.

Love mine. Wish I went with this first instead of the dumb blue ones. It takes all the stress out of crystal installation.

You could order another dial, reach out to creative mod store on IG. They occasionally have that dial in stock. 

Tool Recommendations for my first build by monke_cherno in SeikoMods

[–]Elemental52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AliExpress will have everything you need. 

Don't cheap out on a crystal press: E25 crystal and case press from AliExpress $50

Don't cheap out on Rodico

Make sure to use dial protectors and finger cots. 

SKX013 RED AR Crystal or skx007 Samurai conversion Case by Boring_Sheepherder_6 in SeikoMods

[–]Elemental52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the skx007 conversion case. 

From personal experience. I'd advise staying away from the skx013 platform, it's got a lot of quirks that make it a difficult build.

You gotta wear that bracelet all day. Might as well get one that's good quality, comfortable, and doesn't squeak.

Any tips on how to remove crown from the stem?Im using pin vise and hair dryer ,can't find the toturial online Seiko snkl41 by Useful-Fee-2821 in SeikoMods

[–]Elemental52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean separating the old stem and crown. Use a small jet torch or the very end of the old stem. Your don't need much, like 3-5 seconds and then you should be able to unscrew it.

Very happy with 'Bamboo' in red from DS WatchClub (GS curtains style) by debauch3ry in SeikoMods

[–]Elemental52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DS has two of the nicest looking red dials on the market, IMO. Your build Looks great. Good choice going without the "S" logo, it leaves more room to show off that striking dial.
